Sunny Park registered numnah
Our beautiful dark blue square numnahs are finished with a maroon and white cording and emblazed with the Sunny Park logo. The saddlecloths have been approved by the Gauteng Horse Society’s show jumping committee, which means they can be used when competing at graded events in South Africa.
PFIFF Aurela full seat breeches
Fully imported and extremely fashionable breeches are now available at Tack & Shack! These super comfortable breeches have a washable synthetic leather seat and elasticated ankles. The colour contrasting zips and stitching as well as the modern embroidery logo give the breeches a trendy look. Available in a range of contrasting colours.
Professional Choice over reach boots
The Professional Choice boots are made from Duratex and have a front double Velcro closure which helps to secure the fit but also stops the boot from turning which means it stays in place to protect the coronet band and bulb of the heel. The Ultra Shock lining helps to absorb the impact of overreaching.
Kick pad girth
Without a doubt, a necessity for any show jumper. Shod horses can, at times, cut themselves open or bruise their underside when they take off as their hooves snap up to their stomaches. The kick pad girth offers protection against these types of injuries. Made from imported leather, our girths are available in brown or black with silver piping.
Portuguese Elliptical Gag
The great thing about the elliptical link is that the bit does not have a nutcracker action but rather allows for continuous feel from side to side. In effect, the Portuguese elliptical gag is a loose ring snaffle with two extra rings on the loose ring. The extra rings allows for a “gag” type action – making for stronger bit than an elliptical loose ring snaffle and a less severe bit than a traditional gag. Made of stainless steel – the Portuguese elliptical gag has been designed to never rust, bend or break.
Sunny Park Caters For Every Level Of Rider
In 2003 Sunny Park was nothing more than a derelict piece of ground but over the years it has developed into the East Rand’s premiere location for expert equestrian tuition and livery care.
The yard caters for every level of rider – from young children learning the ropes to more seasoned equestrians wishing to compete at the highest level. Livery is available for both top competition horses and your trusty hacking companion.
Producing top sport horses is Nicola’s speciality.
Producing top sport horses is Nicola’s speciality. Following Sharp Colt’s success Nicola has gone on to produce 4 more open horses, two of which are currently jumping at international level. She has a handful of youngsters also moving their way up the grades and can be credited for many of her pupils’ successful mounts – which she has helped find and produce.
The dedication, determination and hard work from the team at Sunny Park ensure successful and happy riders and horses that enjoy a fun and safe environment while reaching their personal equestrian goals.
Nicola Is A Qualified SANEF and FEI Instructor
Much of the stable yard’s success can be attributed to its owner and resident instructor Nicola Sime. Not only is Nicola a qualified SANEF and FEI instructor, a National Equitation Judge and one of South Africa’s top show jumpers but she has also had tremendous success coaching many riders to open level.
Producing Top Accolades
Nicola’s own success in the show jumping ring began in 2004 when she started competing at international level with her horse, Sharp Colt. This partnership proved formidable over the years and the pair won many of South Africa’s highest show jumping accolades. An impressive feat considering Sharp Colt came to Nicola as a naughty four year old novice horse – which she was able to produce up the grades.
